About This Item
London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1913. First trade Edition (?). Hardcover. Near fine/Very good-. Quarto, 198pp., plus 22 tipped-in illustrations by Hugh Thompson. A fresh, clean copy, near fine, with previous owner's name on the half-title page and some rubbing and a scuffmark to the bottom edges of the boards. Decorative cloth beautifully preserved. In an age-toned dust jacket, nicked in a few places, but with no major chips - overall, about very good. Verso of half-title has a printed date of 1901, which is the only date in the book, but other similar copies of this volume we have seen on offer have a supposed date of 1913, which seems to match Ahearn's entry for this title. Not a fine copy overall, but internally lovely with no foxing.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
